Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mohur coin from the Mughal Empire is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu motifs. The coin's design includes an inscription in Persian, which was the official language of the Mughal court, as well as an image of a fish, which is a symbol associated with the Hindu god Vishnu. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural diversity of the Mughal Empire and the syncretic nature of its art and architecture.
